eval: Report I/O error on stdout
ENOSPC as a result of an echo builting failing gives no diagnostic.
Just as other shells, dash sets $? to 1, but aside from terminating
the script, this does not inform the user what the problem is:

zsh:
    % echo foo > /dev/full
    echo: write error: no space left on device

bash:
    $ echo foo > /dev/full
    bash: echo: write error: No space left on device

dash:
    $ echo foo > /dev/full
    [nothing]

Print an error to stderr like the other shells.

Suggested by Roger Leigh.
